Environmental impacts of climate-related ice melt in Arctic glacier streams

 

Global glacier mass loss has accelerated in the previous years. Between 2000 and 2019, glaciers lost a mass of 267 ± 16 gigatons a year, which is equivalent to 21 ± 3 % of the recorded global sea level rise.

The volume of glaciers in Iceland (in 2019) corresponds to about 9 mm of the potential global sea level rise. With climate-related glacier melt, water temperature is set to increase and the hydrochemical balance will change. Scientists expect that ...

As part of the DIWAKOPTER project funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), Geisenheim scientists are exploring the potential of sensor-controlled precision fertilizing in viticulture in collaboration with Rauch GmbH and Fritzmeier Umwelttechnik. The field trials – the first ones in German-speaking countries – are carried out in the vineyards of the Hessian State Wineries Kloster Eberbach.
